Fitbit, Baseline #2

[lauraanne_gilman]

 First note: the fitbit is easy to affix to either my bra strap or my waistband without a problem.  Well, one problem: because of my, hrm, slightly built nature, clipping it to my front leaves a visible lump under fitted clothing, and to the side means I'm constantly aware of it brushing my arm when I type.  So... that needs to be figured out.

Today was, as promised, a sluggish-writer baseline day. With the exception of running out to the store to pick up cat food (more or less around the block and down the street) and laundry, I didn't leave my apartment all day, nor did I exercise (except the usual mid-writing-session stretches, which I do to keep the blood moving).

As of 10:30pm, I've walked 5,200 steps (2 1/4 miles, more or less).

That's nowhere near the 10,000 steps/day they suggest, but not too bad considering the circumstances, and probably proof of my family's belief that even when I'm sitting still, I'm still moving.

Now I need to establish an "out and about" baseline, to figure out how active I am when I head downtown for work, and go from there...

Hi, I saw this via network, and thought I'd pop in and say I put my fitbit on a key ring attached to a clip (the cover's clip is tight enough that once you slip the ring all the way to the top I haven't had a problem with it coming off the ring), then clip the clip off to my belt loop and stick the fitbit into my pocket. Don't know if this would be helpful to you or not, but thought I'd pass it on, just in case.
